<p class="lead">The five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) play a key role in the smooth operation of the global Internet.聽 The NRO acts as a coordinating body for the five RIRs to act on matters of global importance.</p> <h3>Operational Accountability</h3> <p>During the IANA Stewardship Transition, the Internet Number Community proposal to the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG) called for the establishment of an IANA Numbering Services Review Committee (<a href="http://www.nro.net/accountability/operational/iana-numbering-services-review-committee/">IANA RC</a>). The IANA RC is comprised of community representatives from each RIR region and its role is to advise and assist the NRO Executive Council (<a href="http://www.nro.net/about/executive-council/">NRO EC</a>)聽 in its periodic review of the service level that the聽<a href="http://www.nro.net/internet-governance/iana/">PTI/IANA Numbering Services</a> provides to the Internet Number Community.<br /> <a href="http://www.nro.net/accountability/operational/">Find out more</a>.</p> <h3><strong>ASO and ICANN Accountability聽</strong></h3> <p>The ICANN Empowered Community is the mechanism through which ICANN’s Supporting Organizations (SOs) and聽Advisory Committees聽(ACs) can organize, under California law, to legally enforce their community powers and hold ICANN accountable for its actions. As an ICANN SO, the Address Supporting Organization (<a href="http://www.nro.net/about/address-supporting-organization/">ASO</a>) and the NRO, participate in ICANN’s Empowered Community. The聽<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ICANN Bylaws</a>聽also call for periodic reviews of the performance and operation of each SO by an independent entity.<br /> <a href="http://www.nro.net/accountability/aso-and-icann-accountability/">Find out more</a>.</p> <h3><strong>RIR Accountability聽</strong></h3> <p>Each RIR is accountable to its membership and bound by the laws of the jurisdiction in which it operates. Member-elected boards govern the RIRs, providing fiduciary oversight, strategic guidance, and verification of the regional policy development process (PDP). In order to ensure the continued stability and operation of the <a href="http://www.nro.net/about/rirs/the-internet-registry-system/">global Internet registry system</a>, the five RIRs also contribute to a <a href="http://www.nro.net/accountability/rir-accountability/joint-rir-stability-fund/">Joint RIR Stability Fund</a>.<br /> <a href="http://www.nro.net/accountability/rir-accountability/">Find out more</a>.</p> <p class='last-modified'>Last modified on 14/08/2018</p> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  <footer role="contentinfo"> <div id="inner-footer" class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3 col-xs-6 col-lg-2 footer-item contact-info"> <h4>Contact Us</h4> <div class="contact-info clearfix"> <p><a href="mailto:secretariat@nro.net"><b>secretariat@nro.net</b></a></p> <div class="social-media"> <a href="https://twitter.com/thenro?lang=en" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter fa-2x"></i></a> </div>  <div class="site-info"> © 2025 The Number Resource Organization. </div> <p class='site-credit'>Site by <a href="https://ardesign.us" target="_blank">AR Design</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-6 col-lg-2 footer-item footer-menu-column"> <h4>Information</h4> <div class="menu-footer-menu-container"><ul id="menu-footer-menu" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-29891" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-29891"><a href="https://www.nro.net/about/">About</a></li> <li id="menu-item-29886" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-29653 current_page_item menu-item-29886 active"><a href="https://www.nro.net/accountability/" aria-current="page">Accountability</a></li> <li id="menu-item-29887" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-29887"><a href="https://www.nro.net/internet-governance/">Internet Governance</a></li> <li id="menu-item-29888" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-29888"><a href="https://www.nro.net/technical-coordination/">Technical Coordination</a></li> <li id="menu-item-29889" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-29889"><a href="https://www.nro.net/policy/">Policy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-29890" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-29890"><a href="https://www.nro.net/documents/">Document Archive</a></li> </ul></div> </div>  <div class="col-md-3 aso-logo"> <a href="http://www.aso.icann.org" target="_blank"> <img src="/wp-content/uploads/ASO-logo-79x199.png" alt="AFRINIC" class=""> </a> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  </footer>  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.nro.net/wp-includes/js/dist/hooks.min.js?ver=4d63a3d491d11ffd8ac6" id="wp-hooks-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.nro.net/wp-includes/js/dist/i18n.min.js?ver=5e580eb46a90c2b997e6" id="wp-i18n-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" id="wp-i18n-js-after"> /* <![CDATA[ */ wp.i18n.setLocaleData( { 'text direction\u0004ltr': [ 'ltr' ] } );
